Very likely Patriots 2016 Opponents

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Provided the Broncos don't choke on Sunday and the Texans don't blow a 1:3300 chance to capture the AFC South, here are the opponents for next year. For those who want to complain that we should "focus on the playoffs" like we are the actual players, I'd encourage you to use the Ignore Thread option.

Home
Baltimore
Cincinnati
St. Louis
Seattle
Houston
NY Jets
Miami
Buffalo

Away
Cleveland
Pittsburgh
Arizona
San Francisco
Denver
NY Jets
Miami
Buffalo

I always judge the schedule based on the number of tough opponents on the road...better to get them at home. Away against Pittsburgh, Arizona, and Denver look like some challenging games. Unfortunately, the Colts dodged us next year, but we'll play them at home in 2017 IF they win that "division" next year, and we play them at home in 2018 no matter what.

We're at Denver again in 2017, three years in a row. The only complain I have about the NFL scheduling is that, if you play a team in your conference who always finish in the same place (typically if both teams are division winners), then it's a three-home, three-away rotation. We got Denver at home in in 2012, 2013, and 2014, and it was the same rotation when we used to play the Colts every year.

For Bay Area fans such as myself, Patriots are at San Francisco in 2016 and at Oakland in 2017!

The game at San Fran will be Brady's first start vs San Fran near his home town. Missed only other chance in 2008.

After that Tampa Bay will be the only current NFL City Brady has never started a regular season game. The only road game the were to play at Tampa was in 2009 and ended up being in London.

Also might not be in Oakland in 2017 looking like it will be in LA(if they stay in AFC. Because if say SD and Oak go to LA) have heard one will have to switch to NFC and that Seattle will come back to AFC.

Looks like a wicked hard schedule.
